If you follow the BlackBerry blogs and forums, by now you're thinking the OS that shipped on your Storm was not the one originally intended to be shipped with the device and that the appearance of two stickers on your Storm's box helped confirm this story. I just received a statement from RIM 'clearing up' the confusion...

I must say I was excited at the prospect of a stereo bluetooth headset for my Curve. I had only recently started listening to music on my BlackBerry, and had run into big issues with my standard iPod earbuds. Whenever I removed them from my device, I would lose sound on calls until I reset my phone - a big problem for me. So as I pulled my new Samsung BHV700 Stereo Bluetooth Headset out...

I have a confession folks... aside from being a CrackBerry addict in general, I'm also a major theme junkie. I just can't help myself. A nice new theme comes out and I just have to have it. I'm positive some of you out there can relate lol! This beautiful piece of work comes to us from Visto Themes. With the user customizable icons right down to the custom message waiting indicator, nice shade...

Consider yourself a moderate to advanced BlackBerry user? If so sgt-d has just the application you have been looking for. Some of you may have already heard of it, some of you may swear by it and if you haven't heard of it yet, it's time you get to know this great BlackBerry tool.
What can it do for me? A better question to ask is What can't it do for me?, If you have every needed to load...

With the Vodafone & Verizon BlackBerry Storm both now out on the market (though not widely available just yet), it's time to start wrapping up our What Would You Do for a BlackBerry Storm? Contest!

BlackBerry Down!! I sure hope the guys at phoneWreck.com can put 'ole humpty this Storm back together again, or else it's crying shame considering the launch day shortages!

I'm getting too old for this! I can recall times in my life where I "camped out" to be part of something important or just something cool. In college, I drove from Boston down to New York to camp out in Central Park to see Simon and Garfunkel's big reunion concert and then again for a No Nukes concert with Springsteen and the gang. That was a long time ago. I did go to CompUSA when...

If you didn't call in sick or take the day off work to pick up your BlackBerry Storm in person, have no fear, as you can buy your BlackBerry Storm online!
You can now purchase the Storm for $249.99 from Verizon's website, which after a $50 mail-in rebate works out to $199.99.
OR, if you're planning on setting up a brand new account/phone number with Verizon and want to save yourself...

Update: OH BOY... I'm not sure what's going on here, but I just received a flood of emails from Verizon people letting me know that if your BlackBerry Storm wasn't ordered before 2pm EST today that it will not be shipping until DECEMBER 5th!
